Obviously, I was super bummed and didn't think I was going to be contacted from any other sororities because my Greek Affairs office told me that no other sororities were going to be participating. Then last night I got a text from the recruitment chair of XYZ inviting me to a V-Day Crafting get together! I was so happy but now I have no idea what to do. I have some of the XYZ sisters in one of my classes tonight so I'm going to talk to her before the event tomorrow.

Anyone have any tips for me?! I could really use some advice!
1) Accept the invitation.

2) Make sure that when you talk to your classmate, you tell her that you were super happy to get the invitation.

3) Ask your classmate what to wear. Dress slightly nicer than what she tells you to wear.

4) Search around here for information on open recruitment and read those threads.

5) If you get a bid, accept it. Don't wait on a colony that may or may not happen.

One thing I'd point out here: If you get a bid AND you feel comfortable with the group, accept it. You may go to XYZ's recruitment events and feel that the fit just isn't there.
